Reply to comment by ArousedByDougFunnie in Guillermo Del Toro Following Groundbreaking ‘Pinocchio’ With Animated Adaptation Of Kazuo Ishiguro’s ‘The Buried Giant’ At Netflix by MarvelsGrantMan136

Did you- Did you watch the movie? It was incredibly creative,in adaptation, absolutely masterfully animated and completely different from any other Pinocchio from before it. To say that it isn't challenging or original is just so patently ridiculous almost to the point of parody

Is it kid (11yr olds) friendly? Or some grim child abuse story?

Well, that does kind of depend on the child, the movie does get... intense, but there isn't ever anything that would be called 'explicit' in the traditional sense. Depending on how resilient your child is, I would air on the side of yes, it probably is appropriate, but remain cautious.

Like, it features heavy themes like death, grief and fascism, all of which it handles very well, but I would say they are made child-accessible, if not necessarily 'child-friendly' per se.
